so it's been a while...

i kind of like it when life is busy enough that there doesn't seem to be much time for blogging...
                                                                        
i've been involved in a few more volunteer sessions at the Life With Cancer Family Center... i've been organizing and hosting some fundraisers for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society...







i've been training for the marathon that i will run in less than two weeks time...







i've been dealing with the former owner of the house in what seems like a never-ending cycle of being told he'll do the work on this day, then this day, then this day....

i've hosted a house-warming party (at last!), and had a birthday...





i've been working on planning and building and preparing flower and vegetable gardens...









i've been dealing with some health issues...

and i've been supporting some friends who are going through personal crises of their own...

that almost makes up for not blogging, don't you think?
